Recycled Art Contest – Best in Show

Posted on May 10, 2012 by

The Best in Show recipients have been announced for the Recycled Art Contest held at the recent Earth Day Celebration.

Creswell School District partnered with the City of Creswell, Creswell Christian School and a variety of environmental organizations for this year’s Earth Day Celebration. Through these collaborative efforts our community’s third annual Earth Day Celebration was once again a proven success!

5th grader Natalie Burkhouse crafted a Bobble Head  |  3rd grader Kyle Burnside crafted a Coffee Can Top Hat  |  4th grader Katie Culp created a Recycled Hair Band  |  5th grader Jessica Ellison & Kirsten Grand crafted Recycled Sock Gloves  |  3rd grader Haily Stevenson created a Bird Feeder

Congratulations!

So what’s up with a “Recycled Art Contest?”

During the Contest students learned to create sculptures and other artwork from re-used materials, without the use of adhesives. The available materials were generously donated by Materials Exchange Center for Community Arts (M.E.C.C.A.), and the activity was led by volunteers extraordinaire Titus Tomlinson and Stephanie Scafa from the University of Oregon’s Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) Program. Students either took their artwork home with them, or teachers put their students’ work on display in their classrooms.

Gotta Ride

Posted on May 7, 2012 by

May is National Bike Month!

Bike to School Day is May 9.

Bike to Work Day is May 18.

Take a ride or two.

Be safe and wear a helmet. Need a helmet? Check with your school office.

The origins of the bicycle are shrouded in mystery. It is not possible to attribute its invention to any single person. Still, what is clear is that the early ancestors of the modern bicycle were in use by the early 1800s… Read more about the history of the bicycle @ The National Museum of of American History

Students Dish Up Lunch for the Needy

By Jennifer Richardson

CRESWELL, Ore. — Creswell Middle School students dished up some community kindness Thursday.

As a part of the school’s food drive for the Lane County Food Bank of Creswell, the students decided to serve up a taco lunch to those in need.

The survival skills class helped cook up the meal.

The food bank helps around 170 families a month, and it says that’s barely skimming the surface of those in need.

“I just think that it’s good to help our community when they’re in need of food,” said 8th grader Kyra Hanson.

“Since Creswell’s like a small town and everybody’s kind of like a family here, we thought it would be pretty cool to come serve everyone,” said 8th grader Gisell Lozano… Read more here.

Nicely done Tigers!
